Hello George:

Thanks for your instructive comments.

Interesting indeed, to witness the language evolution:

a. from 10th century b.c., isolated song of moses and song of deborah
(separated by narrative text);

b. to 10th century a.d., large set of scrolls becoming entirely song.

regards,

fred burlingame
